Anyone got any decent jokes. there are only so many penguin wrapper jokes you can listen to in your break, before you feel like feeding your head through the planer.

:p Doughnut :p
 
I think most of us have seen most of the sites dedicated to woodworking jokes. Any chance of something original (or even old, but half decent).

Thanks anyway.
:p Doughnut :p
 
Sorry not wood related.

Twas the month after New Year's, and all through the house
Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.
The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste
At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.
When I got on the scales there arose such a number!
When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).

I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;
The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,
The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese
And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."
As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt
And prepared once again to do battle with dirt---
I said to myself, as I only can
"You can't spend a winter disguised as a man!"


So--away with the last of the sour cream dip,
Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip
Every last bit of food that I like must be banished
'Till all the additional ounces have vanished.
I won't have a cookie--not even a lick.
I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.


I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie,
I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.
I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore---
But isn't that what January is for?
Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all and to all a good diet!
 
very good! here is one on how to grovel! :)

Dear Spike,
I have been unable to sleep since I broke off your engagement to my
daughter. Will you forgive and forget?
I was much too sensitive about your tattoos and piercings. I now
realize that motorcycles aren't really that dangerous, and I really
should not have reacted that way to the fact that you have never held
a job. I am sure,too,that some other very nice people live under the
bridge in the park. Sure my daughter is only 18 and wants to marry
you instead of going to university on a scholarship. After all, you
can't learn everything about life from books. I sometimes forget how
backward I can be. I was wrong. I was a fool. I have now come to my
senses, and you have my full blessing to marry my daughter.
Sincerely,
Alfred (Your future father-in-law.)
P.S. Congratulations on winning the lottery last week.
 
NO!!!! :eek:
Not the Christmas logo
Please not the Christmas Logo :(
 
Back on topic ...

A chimpanzee walked into a bar, jumped up on a stool and ordered a beer.

"You're a talking chimp!" the bartender exclaimed.

"Right," the chimp replied, "I've been working in construction across the street for a week, then today, I got laid off. Now where's my beer?"

Each day the chimp came in for a few beers. The bartender noticed he was getting more and more depressed about being unemployed.

The next week, a circus came to town and the bartender mentioned the talking chimp to the owner.

The next day, when the talking chimp came into the bar, the barkeep said, "I've got great news, you can get a job with the circus."

"This circus, is it in that big canvas tent just outside of town?" the chimp inquired.

"Well yes," replied the bartender.

"I wonder why the hell they need a finishing carpenter then?" said the chimp.
 
Years of Training
------------------

The local bar was so sure that its landlord was the strongest man
around that it offered a standing $1,000,000 bet that no could beat
him.

The challenge was that the landlord would squeeze a lemon until
all the juice ran out into a beer glass, then hand the lemon to
the customer. Anyone who could squeeze even one more drop out of
the lemon would win the money.

Over the years many people had tried this, truck drivers,
weightlifters and all had failed.

Then one day this frail little fella with heavy rimmed spectacles
came into the bar and asked if he could try the challenge.

After the laughter had subsided the landlord said that it was only
fair that the man be given a chance at the bet, so he picked up a
lemon and started squeezing.

Once he was done he handed the remains to the little man who promptly
squeezed out 4 more drops of juice onto the bar.

Everyone looked on in amazement as the landlord handed over the
prize and asked, "What do you do for a living that has given you
such strength? Are you a lumberjack, weightlifter, what?"

"No" the man replied, "I work for the Inland Revenue!"

What's the difference between a nail, a screw and a bolt?" the woodworking teacher asked the only blonde in the woodworking class.

The blonde pondered the question for a moment, then replied, "Well, I'm not sure. I don't think I've ever been 'bolted' before."
 
Q: How do you tell a bad carpenter from an experienced pro?

A: The experienced guy can still count to ten on both hands.
 
Not woodwork related, but the mindset is similar

up?

Glen Roeder is out shopping one afternoon when he sees an old lady struggling with several bags. He walks up to her and asks, "Can you manage, love?"

She replies;

"Get lost. You asked for the job and now you've got it you can keep it."



Not woodwork but it amused me.

IF YOU'RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT, BOMB IRAQ
If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea looks too risky,
Bomb Iraq.

If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think someone has dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with all the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.

It's "pre-emptive non-aggression", bomb Iraq.
Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's good enough for me
'Cos it's all the proof I need
Bomb Iraq.

If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad,
With the weapons that he had,
(And he tried to kill your dad),
Bomb Iraq.

If your corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq.
If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq.
If your politics are sleazy,
And hiding it ain't easy,
And your manhood's getting queasy,
Bomb Iraq.

Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.





I'll get me 'at an' coat

Scientific Study


I realize that this is for submissions of jokes, but I came across this
important scientific study that people should be aware of:

Recently, Scientists in United Kingdom suggested that the results of a
recent analysis revealed the presence of female hormones in beer, and suggested that men should take a look at their beer consumption. The theory is that drinking beer makes men turn into women. To test the theory, 100 men were each fed 6 pints of beer within a one-hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the men gained weight, talked excessively without making sense,
became overly emotional, couldn't drive, failed to think rationally, argued over nothing, had to sit down while urinating and refused to apologize when wrong.
No further testing is planned.
